Is the Phnom Penh Real Estate Bubble Starting to Burst? Here is a Sign...

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

even the secure housing estates here, make me cringe.

I need space, need to be able to go outside and piss on the grass :-)

Whoever heard of pissing on grass before you smoke it ?


I live in one on the weekends, a 4 m x 20 m ,, 6 bedrooms,,, 8 toilets and showers ,, 2 kitchens, and loads of space, with a nice safe concrete road in front for the kids in our street to play on. When I compare it to my house in Australia , the basic design here [ high ceilings ] and the way they are built [ tiles on all the walls makes easy cleaning ] I much prefer the way they built here. Cheap and basic quality . Pay more and hopefully you get better quality.

Grassy areas are pretty rare here, most that exist are overgrown and/or covered in garbage.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

If you don't want good internet, a 7 Eleven, a good school for the kids, and a bar full of barangs, where you can throw a few punches, then I guess the countryside is the place to be.

the only reason why the unrealistic property prices have held up until today is that most properties r bot with all cash, as more ppl turn to financing to purchase their house, then the real bubble will burst
